Rio Rancho Launch, January
25th 2003

Our first launch of the year was on our alternate weekend. It was
a little cold but that didn't deter quite a few folks from coming
out and launching rockets. There were interesting flights in all
power ranges. The Hypertek guys seemed to have a lot more trouble
this time than last month (except for Tony). We finally got to see
one of those I65 motors, they burn a long time ..... All in all
it was a nice start to 2003.

Rio Rancho Launch, February
22nd, 2003

Our delayed February launch went well but with a small crowd. Some
very nice flights including successful Hypertek flights from Ken!
Two flights with the I-65 motors resulted in long searches for the
rockets (were they ever found?). Those motors burn and burn and
burn... Congratulations to new club member Kyle Foster who certified
level 1 with an H123.

Rio Rancho Launch, March
8th 2003

In spite of a little wind we had a nice March launch. Good turnout
with quite a few spectators. It was one of the warmest days so far
this year. Ken flew another of those long burning I-65's. He was
still looking for it when the launch was over. Kyle had a 3-E cluster
that appeared to have one of the motors go through the rocket which
caused some interesting aerodynamics. Even Denzil made it up from
"down south" to join us for this month's launch, and yes
he flew a rocket. Dennis had a terrific Hypertek flight that took
off like a, well, like a rocket!
